Issues over water availability and quality will significantly impact crop production in the United States over the 21st century. Irrigation has long played a key role in feeding an expanding population and is expected to play an even greater role in the future. One problem with irrigation is, historically, it has not been sustainable in many regions of the world. Irrigation often entails the addition of water-born and soil mobilized salts. Another problem that irrigation can bring is silting which can reduce the water supply, otherwise clogging the system and soil pores. Also, the downstream disposal of irrigated land can pollute aquifers, streams, and estuaries with salts and nutrients. In this project, I propose to develop a plan that will showcase appropriate technology on the SOU farm site to demonstrate a resilient and long lasting solution that will meet the demand for clean water today and into the future as a buffer against these problems.
